Over Age 50 But Don't Meet the Grid Rules - You Still Have an Advantage

This podcast episode explores the various factors that play a significant role in Social Security disability cases, including the grid rules, age, work history, and the importance of evidence. The grid rules determine disability qualifications, but a long work history and being over the age of 50 can still influence judges' decisions, even if the grid rules do not apply. Moreover, age is advantageous as it affects job prospects and the duration of support from the Social Security Disability Trust Fund. The pressure in Congress also impacts the decisions made by judges. Overall, this episode emphasizes the importance of evidence and understanding the nuances of disability cases.
